[Edaily Reporter KIM HYUNSIK ] A year-end dinner show featuring Go Ji-yong, Lee Jae-jin, and Jang Su-won—former members of the group Sechs Kies—has been canceled.

Mountain Movement Story, Ko Ji-yong’s agency and the event organizer, stated on the 10th, “We cannot express the immense shock and disappointment caused by the Instagram post Mr. Lee Jae-jin suddenly uploaded,” adding, “This event will be canceled.”
Jang Su-won’s camp also posted an announcement regarding the event’s cancellation on the official J-Walk fan cafe that same day. Jang Su-won’s camp said, “We are deeply sorry to have to share this disappointing news with the fans who have been looking forward to this event,” and added, “Those who have paid the event fee are asked to contact the organizers individually to request a refund and confirm the refund process.”
Originally, Lee Jae-jin was scheduled to host the dinner show “THE TREE: Zekki’s Untold Stories” with Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won on the 15th and 16th of next month at the Inspire Tower Ballroom in Incheon. However, the event faced complications after Lee Jae-jin announced his withdrawal that day, stating, “Discussions regarding my appearance did not lead to the signing of a final contract.”
In a statement posted on Instagram, Lee Jae-jin explained, “During the negotiation process, I discovered issues regarding the event’s ticketing and payment methods.” He continued, “Through reports from fans, I learned that the organizers were contacting fans individually to accept payments into personal bank accounts, and I have confirmed on multiple occasions that fans who requested refunds have not yet received them.”
Lee Jae-jin elaborated, “Out of concern for the fans’ losses, I demanded that the organizers promptly issue refunds for the outstanding cases and ensure transparent ticket sales through official ticketing channels,” adding, “However, since these concerns were not addressed, I have decided not to appear at the event.”
He further stated, “I request that the organizers immediately cease using my photo and name for promotional purposes and correct any existing promotional materials and content that imply my appearance has been confirmed.”
In response, Mountain Movement Story stated, “We will thoroughly review whether there were any shortcomings in the preparation and communication process for this event,” adding, “Above all, we sincerely apologize to the fans who are experiencing confusion due to this incident and to those who have been looking forward to the event.”
However, regarding Lee Jae-jin’s claims, the company issued a rebuttal, stating, “For any content that is inconsistent with the facts and that damages the reputation and trust of the company or other related parties, or that wrongly shifts responsibility to Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won, we will review necessary measures based on the evidence we have.”
